BriAn kATz is no stranger to

changing careers As an undergrad,

he dropped out of jazz school and, at the age of 19, walked into a bar on the south side of Chicago where his idol, Carlos Johnson, invited him on stage for a jam session That was a turning point in his life that led to nearly a decade of touring the East Coast and playing back-up guitar in blues joints all over Chicago He did a stint as a busboy, waiter and self-proclaimed surf bum But after reading an autobiography of Warren Buffet,

he devoured textbooks on finance, taught himself how to read financial 10-K reports and decided to pursue his MBA at the University of San Diego Today, at 33, he’s near the top

of his class, is working on a research project with his professors and will start an internship with Cisco, where he’ll be part of the global supply chain management team.

“The next three months will be another defining point in my life.”

lAurA hArich had a business

running educational chess programs for four years before realizing she needed to earn an MBA “I lacked the basics and couldn’t figure out what to do with the numbers,” Harich says “The MBA program was a crash course in everything I never knew I absolutely needed to know to run a business It gave me the fundamentals, the hard skills — finance, accounting and economics.” Harich took advantage of study abroad opportunities in Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Morocco She also landed an internship with HP, managing the marketing strategy for their calculator line.

“I’ve had a taste of everything — starting a business, working for a big corporation and being part of a small company,” says Harich “I haven’t yet decided what I want to do when I graduate, but I’m confident I’ll have the skills and network to achieve the goals I set for myself.”

Tommy nordgAArd believes

his international practicum, which culminated with a one-week trip to China, gave him the valuable real-world business experience that you just can’t get by reading a book or sitting in a classroom

His charge was to improve the efficiency and cost benefits of a division within a Chinese company jointly owned by a German corporation and the Chinese government Nordgaard and his fellow consultants traveled to China where they offered several solutions Feedback was positive and the division was grateful for their work.

“What we took from this experience were the tools and framework for solving problems in a real-life work environment,” says Nordgaard, who

is taking the accelerated 13-month International MBA program “You learn how to identify a problem, come up with a hypothesis and build solutions for how to fix the problem.”

mike fArley leads a busy life

He’s a vice president at Rialto Capital Management, a real estate investment management company He’s a husband and a father of two boys Now he’s also a student in the Part-time MBA program How does

he juggle it all? Two words: time management He goes to work earlier when necessary, stays later if he needs

to, consolidates classes to two nights

a week, joins study groups a third night, stays on track by reading in the evenings and dedicates a chunk of time on Sunday to class projects

“It comes down to being on a system and breaking my day into manageable chunks,” Farley says “I plan in advance and talk things over with friends and family It’s definitely a balance, but I stay on top of things and chip away at big projects so I don’t get stuck It’s a commitment, but nothing in life that’s worthwhile comes without hard work.”

zABrinA JohAl entered the Navy

as an officer where she trained as a nuclear engineer and ran the nuclear reactor on the USS Carl Vinson She was also one of only three women to deploy on a guided missile destroyer

to the Persian Gulf in 2002.

She then joined General Atomics where she was the project engineer

in nuclear fusion for the National Ignition Facility and eventually aligned business opportunities and partnerships to successfully bid and complete projects However, after joining the MBA program in 2008, Johal learned the skills she needed to take her career in a new direction.

“I had never received formal training

in business management,” Johal says

“One of the first things I realized was how knowledge in economics and financing can render a broader picture of what’s going on around me

I have moved into financial modeling and forecasting for my business unit and experienced tremendous growth opportunities in the process.”

SAN DIEGO EvENING MBA

The University of San Diego Evening MBA program for working professionals offers a broad-based, interactive curriculum focused on developing socially responsible leaders who make pivotal business decisions that impact their organization and the world at large Similar to the curriculum of the Full-time MBA program, the Evening MBA program is comprised of management core courses, socially responsible leadership development courses and a variety of elective options
